Machine Monitoring Dashboard

The Machine Monitoring Dashboard app allows you to quickly view whether a machine is online or down and other key metrics. Avoid confusion by viewing machines with the added context of a facility map.

Purpose

The aim of this app is to offer a template that you can quickly customize to fit your requirements, assisting in the setup of a functional machine monitoring dashboard.

Setup

If you are setting up the Machine Monitoring Dashboard, keep these guidelines in mind:

Understanding the Setup: We've included a 'Select Machine' widget that comes with a dropdown menu. The dropdown is configured to display all the machines associated with your instance.

Selecting a Machine: To set up the dashboard, simply choose a machine from this dropdown. Your choice will directly influence the 'Machine Status' widget and the displayed analytics.

Accommodating Additional Machine Types: If you need to include other machine types, you will have to make adjustments to the analytics settings. This ensures their correct representation and integration into the system.

Alternative Setup (Manual Configuration): If you prefer not to use the dropdown, you can remove it and manually configure the dashboard. In this case, you would need to:

a) Adjust the 'Machine Status' widget's data source.
b) Modify the filters on the analytics.

App Structure

The app consists of four steps. The first is an overview, and the second is a configuration step. These two steps can be deleted once the setup is complete.

The third step is a dashboard template where the machine status and two kinds of analytics are displayed. In this step, we've also incorporated three time filters: Today, Week, and Month. These filters are utilized in the analytics. If you wish to exclude them, you can do so by removing the filter from the analytics, the 'Date Filter' variable, and the buttons.

The fourth step presents another dashboard template. However, instead of incorporating analytics, we've included machine activity fields such as Defect Count, Part Count, and Start Time. This can be customized according to your specific needs.
